A Fortnight

Anabelle is two weeks old today. It's hard to believe that it's only been two weeks since we welcomed her into our family. In a way it feels like she's always been a part of our family.

She is such a good baby. She hardly ever cries but prefers to grunt. It's ridiculously cute and hard to resist. She has given us a few really great stretches of sleep at night (sometimes as many as 4 or 5 hours) and has also really started waking up more during the day. She isn't awake for long during the day but she seems very interested in stuff when she is.

Her right eye had a plugged tear duct that was causing her to have some serious eye boogies. When she woke up on Saturday morning it looked like she had been hit in the eye because it was so swollen and red. I took her to the pediatrician and he massaged her eye, which really seemed to help. We're keeping an eye on it (haha) but it's starting to look a lot better already.

Hayden has been really great with her. She always wants to know where Anabelle is and what she's doing. She loves to kiss her and hug her and has even shared her toys with her. She goes through moments where she acts out and wants "my mommy, my daddy" but overall she has really welcomed Anabelle into our world.

Thank you to everyone that has called, emailed, stopped by with food, and sent gifts. We are so appreciative of the love and support! Click on the picture below to view recent pictures.
